problem with pc gaming.
i was talking to some friends recently about the current state of pc gaming and we all agreed on one thing. the biggest thing that hurts gamers and stops more people from taking it more seriously is the constant upgrade battle. seems every few months a new game comes along and as impressive as it is it crushes current hardware, and in some cases it takes a year or two before the hardware to play the game the way it's intended is affordable for the masses. i think it cripples the pc gaming market that the most desired games are unplayable for so many and that instead of always pushing the envelope they should cut back a little so that a game will run stably at desirable resolutions on current hardware. for example TES: oblivion is nearly 4 years old and the game still doesn't run well on a pc the average user will pick up at a big box retailer without a graphics upgrade, am i the only one that finds this a bit ridiculous? i'm just waiting for the next big game to come along and force me back into an upgrade path i completed only a few months ago with top of the line components.
